Learn how to add, edit, and verify titles and descriptions for your uploaded artwork in ArtHelper, including troubleshooting tips for saving issues.

Written by Shelby

Every image you upload to ArtHelper has a **Title** and a **Description**. They show up on your public artist profile, on social posts you create from the image, and inside the AI tools when you ask Arty to write about the piece. This article covers how to edit them, how to confirm the change was saved, and how to fix the most common upload problems.## How to edit a title or description1. Go to [My Artwork](https://app.arthelper.ai/my-artwork) and click the image you want to update. The image opens in a detail view.2. Click **Edit Details**. The Artwork Details panel slides in from the right.3. Update the **Title** and **Description** fields.4. Click **Save** at the bottom of the panel. You'll see a "Details updated successfully" confirmation appear.💡 **Tip:** You can also reach the Edit Details panel without opening the image first. On [My Artwork](https://app.arthelper.ai/my-artwork), hover the image, click the **•••** button in the top-right corner of the image card, then click **Edit Details**.## Adding technical details — dimensions, medium, substrate, and yearArtHelper now automatically extracts and displays technical specifications for each artwork, including:- **Dimensions** — width and height (often pulled from camera EXIF data when available) - **Medium type** — oil, acrylic, watercolor, charcoal, digital, mixed media, etc. - **Substrate** — canvas, paper, panel, board, etc. - **Year created** — the year you made the pieceYou'll find these fields in the same **Artwork Details** panel where you edit title and description:1. Go to [My Artwork](https://app.arthelper.ai/my-artwork) and click the image you want to update.2. Click **Edit Details**. The Artwork Details panel slides in from the right.3. Scroll down to see the technical fields below the title and description. ArtHelper tries to fill in what it can detect automatically (especially dimensions from EXIF data), but you can edit any field if the auto-extraction got something wrong.4. Fill in only what applies to the piece — leaving a field blank is perfectly fine. Not every work has a substrate label, and some pieces don't have a known creation year.5. Click **Save** at the bottom of the panel.💡 **Tip:** Dimensions are extracted from camera EXIF metadata when available, so if you photograph your work with a phone or camera that records image dimensions, ArtHelper will often pre-fill this field for you. You can always edit it to reflect the physical artwork dimensions instead of the photo dimensions.## How to confirm your changes savedIf you see the "Details updated successfully" toast after clicking **Save**, you're good — the change is live. If you want to double-check:1. Close the Artwork Details panel.2. Navigate away from [My Artwork](https://app.arthelper.ai/my-artwork) (any other page works), then come back to it.3. Click the same image again. The new title and description should be there.## A naming routine for new uploadsThe fastest way to keep your gallery tidy is to set the title and description at upload time, instead of fixing things later. Right after each [Upload](https://app.arthelper.ai/upload):- Open the new image from [My Artwork](https://app.arthelper.ai/my-artwork) and check the title — sometimes the original filename ("IMG_2941.jpg") gets pulled in and needs to be replaced.- Click **Edit Details** and write a one-sentence description of the piece. Even a short one helps the AI tools later when you ask Arty to write a caption or email.- Click **Save**.## Naming systems for series and large bodies of workIf you make a lot of work or paint in series, generic titles like "Untitled 4" become hard to navigate. A few patterns artists tend to find useful:- **Subject + Mood** — "Forest at Dawn — Somber"- **Series Name + Number** — "Metropolis Study No. 4"- **Location + Season** — "Coastline — Late Autumn"- **Medium + Subject** — "Charcoal Figure Study"Whichever pattern you pick, the value comes from sticking with it across your whole gallery so you can scan and find pieces fast.## Common questions### My changes don't seem to be saving. What's going on?Run through this quick checklist:- **Did you click Save?** The panel doesn't auto-save — the change only commits when you click the **Save** button at the bottom.- **Did you see the green confirmation?** A "Details updated successfully" toast appears in the bottom-right corner when the save goes through. If you didn't see one, click **Save** again.- **Try a hard refresh.** Sometimes the browser caches the old text. Press **Cmd + R** on Mac or **Ctrl + R** on Windows to reload [My Artwork](https://app.arthelper.ai/my-artwork).- **Check your internet.** A dropped connection mid-save will silently fail. Make sure you're online, then try saving again.### My uploads are coming in with the wrong titles automatically.This usually means the original file has embedded metadata (EXIF data from a camera, an export label from Photoshop, etc.) that ArtHelper is reading as the title. To fix it:1. Open the affected image from [My Artwork](https://app.arthelper.ai/my-artwork), click **Edit Details**, fix the title, and click **Save**.2. For future uploads, rename the file on your computer first (for example, "Coastal Series 04.jpg") before uploading.3. If you were bulk-uploading and the titles got scrambled, try uploading one file at a time, or switch browsers to rule out a browser extension interfering.### Will the new title and description show on my public profile?Yes — anywhere the image appears (public artist profile, social posts you generate from it, sparks you run on it) will use the latest saved title and description.
